From Inception to Kill Bill, 10 Action Prequels That Need to Happen
If there's one thing that almost all movie fans agree on, it's that Hollywood's obsession with sequels has really hurt the industry as a whole, forcing writers to basically write the same script over and over again instead of trying to do something original.
